Musician Jason Derulo is The Latest Celebrity to Go Vegan and Here Are Some Foods He Loves!

Talk plant-based to me. Musician Jason Derulo, who is known for his Billboard-topping hits such as “Talk Dirty” and “Whatcha Say”, has joined the ever-growing roster of celebrities, and decided to adopt a plant-based diet.

“Yeah, so I’m vegan now,” he told Men’s Health magazine. 

“I feel lighter. I feel healthier. My eyeballs are super-white,” he continued, adding that his favorite foods are spinach, mushrooms, vegetable soup, lentils, and the ever-versatile jackfruit.

As for when he gets a non-plant-based craving? Jason goes for fried tofu when he needs “something that tastes like a chicken nugget or something.”

Congratulations on your new diet, Jason — you have a lot of amazing, sustainable food in your future!
